by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Nach dem Abschiede
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT FRE
Dunkel sind nun alle Gassen,
Und die Stadt ist öd' und leer;
Denn mein' Lieb' hat mich verlassen.
Meine Sonne scheint nicht mehr.

Büsch' und Wälder, Flüß; und Hügel
Liegen zwischen ihr und mir:
Liebe, Liebe, gib mir Flügel,
Daß ich fliegen kann zu ihr!

Liebe, laß ihr Bild erscheinen!
O so blick' ich sie doch an,
Daß, wenn meine Augen weinen,
Sich mein Herz erfreuen kann.
